If all has left then why do we try?

If all has left then why do we try?

I gave you the light and you put it out

I looked into your face and saw nothing

Love was a word only a word

 

The tortured lies we told each other

Moving mountains in vain

We cried lover into the night sky

But it was too late

Fear and affection drove us

 

I look at the blood and wonder why

I look at the ruins and cry

The ashes rising up

The fire smolders

Smoke burns my eyes

… Burns your lies

 

The worlds came crashing down and victory was mine

It was always mine.
